Words From Walt

Keep the shiny side up
Flying is dangerous & unforgiving
East is Least & West is Best---turning right makes the numbers bigger
Look out the window
Nothing but flying in climbs/descents
No charts, GPS, or paper work
Check for 3 greens on short final
An amphip is 4X more likely to be landed gear wrong
Half way down the runway & not on the ground----then go around
When in doubt whip it out (go around)----that’s the Boy Scout marching song
On the white line (center line), no side tracking & within 500 feet of the 1’000 bar marking
Rough Engine---Carb Heat (alt air) apply (on), mixture rich, fuel pump on & switch tanks
GO ARD----Full Power and reduce the flaps to a lesser/lift position
I can remember when flying was dangerous & sex was safe.
